Um, no – his candle simply went out, but I was trying to subtly hint that he maybe was hard on the figurative bottle, and that he’d dropped the actual one to the floor by the third panel. But maybe that could’ve been clearer somehow..? (I guess I could add some “movement lines” in the third panel to indicate that he’s creeping over to his left. Or even a speech bubble with moaning or something in the second panel to make it obvious that he’s not entirely dead at that point.)
